The sled's custom-molded bottom of high-quality slippery black plastic glides along with ease, while its wide stance keeps it stable. The sturdy bottom has a wide, flat center to float on soft snow and raised rails on the edges to track precisely on hardpack. Screws are stainless steel for durability. Suitable for a child aged 3 years and up and sturdy enough to support 300 pounds, the sled measures 52 inches long x 24 inches wide x 4 inches high and weighs 16 pounds. It meets all USC and ASTM child-safety standards and carries a 1-year warranty against defects. Assembly (instructions included) is easy.
A 1-inch-thick pad with water-resistant nylon cover that fits the sled is sold separately.

Beautiful, highly durable sled - and zippy, too!
I've tried several kinds of reclining sleds, but this one is my hands-down favorite. For one thing, it can take a spill or two and not get damaged. It's varnished, not painted, so you can see the wood grain. The birch rails are a nice touch, too. It's super stable, and turns very nicely, which is good, because this thing is FAST! Loads of fun - when we go sledding, this is the sled that everbody wants to use.

poor quality
Just recieved the Mountain Boy 52" sled for a special event. Should have listened to the reviews here. The packaging from Amazon was so poor that the sled arrived broken. But I decided to fix. Then discovered tthat like many others have said beware the center pivot screw. It had already rattled apart in shipping. Still not willing to give in I took the sled apart and repaired the center screw. Then when it came time to assemble the steering arm discovered that two of the three needed screws were missing. Thought, OK I'm a machinist and can deal with this. Checked the threads and discovered they were metric. Went to hardware store and purchased the correct replacement screws. Then discovered that the holes had been drilled in the incorrect place and needed to drill new screw holes in the steering arm. So now I have a sled with a broken side rail and three extra drilled holes in the steering arm. Tomorrow going sledding and we'll see what else can go wrong. When Mountain Boy says that...
Poor Quality - Risk of Injury
The sled we got for Christmas lasted two runs. Then the front part fell off and something started rattling inside the plastic cover under the front section. Disassembly showed that it was a washer and the nut that held steering section to the bolt. You can see the head of the bolt on top of the rear section. The nut and washer are under the plastic cover.
The nut is a stop nut with a nylon insert to hold it place once it is tightened. However, the nylon insert never engaged with the bolt. There was no thread cut into it. Further analysis showed that it could never have engaged because the section of the bolt that stuck out of the board was too short by at least 1/8". It is not clear why that section was too short, either the bolt is too short by design or the head is not countersunk properly.
The steering section of this sled is fairly heavy and if it comes loose unexpectedly, it can cause serious injury to anyone riding the sled. My friends and I were lucky, but I recommend...
